Welcome back, everyone! This week, we're diving into a topic that hits home for so many of us: how we talk about food with our kids (and perhaps even around them when we think they’re not listening).

I’m joined by the fabulous Fiona Kane, an award-winning Nutritional Medicine Practitioner and Mind Body Eating Coach, and we explored how our words and attitudes around food can set the stage for our kids’ relationship with eating (and emotions!) - and yes, how we can keep it healthy too.

We’ll chat about the accidental ways we nudge our kids toward emotional eating (who knew?), how our own beliefs about food can rub off on them, and why asking open-ended questions can be a game-changer for a more mindful approach.

Fiona, who’s been all over Sky News Australia, 9 News, and ABC Radio, brings her practical tips on breaking habits like boredom eating and finding joy outside of food—for both us and the kids.

So, if you’re looking to raise happy, healthy eaters (or tackle a few food habits of your own), plug in!

This episode is packed with aha moments and doable steps to help the whole family enjoy a balanced relationship with food. I loved our conversation and I know you will too.
